51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.51 Suddenly, one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest's servant.51 Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.51 And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.
52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword away! All who use a sword will be killed by a sword.52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.52 Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.

54 "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?54 How, then, are the Scriptures to be fulfilled that say this must happen?"54 How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?"54 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a criminal? I used to sit teaching in the temple courtyard every day. But you didn't arrest me then.55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn't arrest me.55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

What is it that these men are testifying against You?"62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?62 The chief priest stood up and said to Jesus, "Don't you have any answer to what these men testify against you?"62 The high priest stood up, and said to him, "Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?"62 And the high priest standing up said to him, Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee?
63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God."63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.63 But Jesus was silent. Then the chief priest said to him, "Swear an oath in front of the living God and tell us, are you the Messiah, the Son of God?"63 But Jesus held his peace.

Who hit you?"68 saying, Prophesy to us, Christ, Who is it who struck thee?
Peter’s Denials

71 When he had gone out to the gateway, another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."71 And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.71 As he went to the entrance, another female servant saw him. She told those who were there, "This man was with Jesus from Nazareth."71 When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him, and said to those who were there, "This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth."71 And when he had gone out into the entrance, another maid saw him, and says to those there, This man also was with Jesus the Nazaraean.

73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."73 And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.73 After a little while the men standing there approached Peter and said, "It's obvious you're also one of them. Your accent gives you away!"73 After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, "Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known."73 And after a little, those who stood there, coming to him, said to Peter, Truly thou too art of them, for also thy speech makes thee manifest.
74 Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.74 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.74 Then Peter began to curse and swear with an oath, "I don't know the man!" Just then a rooster crowed.74 Then he began to curse and to swear, "I don't know the man!"

75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.75 And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.75 Peter remembered what Jesus had said: "Before a rooster crows, you will say three times that you don't know me."
